Packing is an unavoidable part of any trip and it is especially daunting for a long journey. I bet what you are worrying about now is packing enough things.
整理行囊是任何一趟旅游不可避免的部分,而替長途旅程整理行囊更是令人退卻。我相信你現在一定在擔心是否打包了足夠的東西。
Don't lose your head over it! Listen, as you pack, ask yourself, "Can I buy this in America?" If the answer is yes, buy it when you get there. Trust me, your suitcase will be much lighter for it!
別因此而昏頭了!聽著,打包時自問:『我在美國買得到這個東西嗎?』如果答案是可以的話,到那里時再買。相信我,你的行李箱會因此而減輕很多!
And before you head out the door for the airport, do some last-minute checking. Is your passport in your backpack? Do you have your tickets with you? Make sure that you have those two items with you because you can go to America without your toothbrush and dental floss but not without your passport and tickets. Wait, there is one last thing that you should do before you board the plane. Promise your family and friends that you'll write them from the US. Good luck and have a wonderful time in America!
而當你出門前往機場時,做最后的檢查。護照在背包里面了嗎?機票帶了嗎?務必確定你攜帶了這兩樣東西,因為你可以不帶牙刷和牙線到美國去,但是不可以不帶護照和機票。啊,等等,在登機前你還得做最后一件事。跟你的親朋好友保證你會從美國寫信回來。祝你好運,并祝你在美國玩得盡興!
